I couldn't do it. And the no a/c (and its not warm all that long here) manual windows and so on would drive me nuts. I don't really even want another car without heated mirrors after getting them on the Tribute. I like features.

I have manual locks, mirrors, windows in my work truck. You get use to it. It's A/C ready so that is only $700 to add and it would have to be.

I mean a decent paint job alone is at least $2K (sorry but Maaco is not a decent paint job).
I would get a 2-3 year old BMW under the CPO program. For the price of that Volvo, you could have a turbo 335i in either sedan, coupe, or convertible, with tons more power, more luxury, real RWD, and a better shifter. BMW provides free maintenance for the first 3 yrs, so you don't really need to worry about previous owners skipping an oil change, especially since they might get screwed later if they had to make a warranty claim. |
Yeah I would not go that old on a car. If I did I would go old Supra.
I'm not sure about the 2-3yr old BMW. I should maybe look into it.
I'm on the phone with the mitsubishi dealer now... looking for a ralliart
